GATE

Dear Parents:

Screening for inclusion in the District’s Gifted and Academically Talented Education (GATE) program for the 2017/18 school year has begun.

The District’s GATE cluster program begins in 3rd grade, and all second grade students are screened for possible eligibility. While teachers will be nominating students in grades 3 and above, parents can also request to have their child nominated for inclusion in the GATE program. This screening will include: a teacher observation form, state test scores when available, MAP scores, enrollment at a Title I school, free or reduced lunch eligibility, English Language Learner designation, Special Education or Section 504 identification, enrollment in another district’s GATE program, and cognitive testing.

If you would like to have your child considered for the Gifted and Academically Talented program:
